I've read that the guy was a no-nonsense son of a bitch. Apparently a catcher came out to the mound to tell him how to pitch and he blew him back to home plate on a wind of 'Fuck You's'.

There's a bunch of 'you should have seen him back in the day' stuff before his feet let him down. That he was a capable big man in the NBA after he was stripped of most of his abilities speaks volumes...

I didn't see Orr in his prime but I tend to judge outliers against the stats of their peers and he and Gretzky occupy another planet.

Paige is a great choice! Damn it!

Nice. Drazen had a killer jump shot that very few appreciated at the time. Great football list-I'd add Johan Cryuff because he cacked out too early.

Ty Cobb is apparently in the top three of World Class Assholes but between his awkward batting grip and sliding with cleats up he'd be very entertaining.

Great point! I'd love to have seen him dominate lacrosse-I've never seen footage.

I'd have loved to see Maravich in college-44 points a game without a 3 point line? Are you kidding me?

Guy You Wish You Had Seen Compete Duan:

"'Very Athletic' is still in play though, right?"

If memory serves, the wig industry really took off at that time.

She did Beef Bourguignon in one take with (perhaps) 3 cameras. Very Impressive.

Believe it or not, I knew that about her. A great life lived.

No one talks about the sacrifices many wives made back in the day in order to make important advances in Household Science.

Watching an old, I mean old, Julia Child cooking show. She references 'electric washing machines'. By the way, she doesn't show nearly as much cleavage as Giada or Nigella.

That stretch between Toronto and Barrie features a ton of folks that tend to drive about 10-15 kms over their ability. Not a problem in good conditions-in bad, well you can see.

Part 2 was: "You've been drafted by the Browns, now close your eyes. Are your hopes and dreams spiraling clock-wise or counter clock-wise down the drain? Take your time."

I bet he'd trade it back to me for half a jar of bacon grease.

"Yeah, well there was this one time I was cycling alongside the Seine and somebody threw a Louis the 14th era armoire at me. I swerved at the last possible moment and went on to win that time trial. What? I'm still under oath? SON OF A BITCH! I'd like to apologize for everything I just said. I'm sure you will all…

That kid is on the Hallway to Hell.
